Colorful produce, fish, walnuts and flaxseed promote tendon and ligament healing. Tendons are tough, flexible bands of tissue that connect muscle to bone. Ligaments are similar bands that connect bone and cartilage to joints and organs. Healthy connective tissues support your ability to move, exercise and lift objects freely. Tendons and ligaments may be damaged by overuse, illness or injuries, such as tendinitis. In addition to medical treatments, physical therapy and rest, certain foods may help your ligaments and tendons heal.
The other amino acid that has been shown to speed wound healing is glutamine. In a study out of Harvard, glutamine was shown to shorten wound healing by about four days. Foods rich in glutamine include beef, chicken, and all types of fish. Animal based dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt and eggs contain glutamine with ricotta and cottage cheese being two of the best sources.
